iQhiya, “a collective of eleven black women artists that emerged from the University of Cape Town’s Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2015, takes its name from the headgear that African women use both as a fashion accessory and as cushion for carrying heavy objects... For iQhiya, the city is a space for engaging, through networking, collectivism and performance, issues of the (mis)representation, exclusion, invisibilization and abjection of black women.” Their main works are performance art that center around highlighting the erasure of black women throughout South Africa.
